Something of this nature would be a boon. I was about to buy a HD from an advertiser on the I-net and he said that I should get a blank money order for the orice, mail it to an address he'd supply at the last minute, and he'll shop the HD. A friend proposed that I could ask him to ship it COD, but I fgured he could wrap a rock in bubble-wrap and I wouldn't know it till after I paid the UPS guy for the rock and a COD fee. Maybe the pcakage should me marked with a description of the item, and the addressee at least be allowed to open the package to see that it contains the item and not a rock (or brick as this proposer suggested.) No testing, no holding for a few days, and the addressee will have to go to the UPS depot for this.
